New Hints on House Cleaning.

From several years Of observation
of the different methods employed by
women in their annual house clean
ing, we are convinced that most of
them make themselves a great deal
of unnecessary hard work when put
ting their "houses in order" The
usual way is, to 60 at it as if the fate
of the nation depended on having it
doneat "a certain time. taking it leas-
urly, 'issomething they do not seem
to think of. "Moving," is always
dreaded by the men-folks, and house
cleaning, as a general thing, is about
as bad. We know one woman who
has completely revolutionized the old
system. She begins with the closets.
She empties one at a time, cleans it
and its contents, returns them to it,
and goes on to the next, never hurry
ing the work, and consequently never
making herself sick by OVERRIDING, as
so many women do every spring.
When the closets are in "apple-pie
ORDER" she begins with the rooms,
taking those upstairs first, one at a
time, and working her way down to
the cellar. There is no hustle, no
confusion, no "pick-up" meals, and,
consequently, no outbreaks of wrath
on the part of the men-folks, who
would not know that house cleaning
was going on if they were not asked
to help move heavy furniture out of
one room into another now and then,
and carry out the carpets, or bring
them in after they had been beaten
and aired. When the house is clean
ed in this leisurely fashion, it is easy
to get the men to help put up shades
and curtains because they do not get
tout of sorts" from the general topsy-
turvy condition ofthings. When the
work is completed, the woman of the
house is not "all used up" She may
be tired without doubt she is-but
she soon "rests up" and is "all right
again." while in many cases the wo-
man who cleans house in the old
fashion way, pays for her overhead

When to Plant Seeds.

1t is q common notion that the
temperature of the air and the soil is
a reliable indication of the time for
planting the different varieties of farm
and garden seeds. Many farmers will
not plant corn or cotton until, in their
judgement, the soil is "warm
enough" to terminate the seed. That
this is not an unerring guide may be
easily demonstrated by the expert
ence of any one who has kept a diary
and observed closely. 1t is quite true
that corn, nor cotton, nor other seed
will terminate and come up if the
temperature of the soil continues,
after planting, below the proper de-
gree of warmth for the termination
and growth Of the particular seed.
But ordinary observation shows that
in our changable spring climate the
temperature of the air and soil on one
day is no guarantee of what it will be
three or four days thereafter. The
conditions of planting may be all
right at the time of planting and be
all wrong at the time of terminating.
In the spring corn usually requires
about twelve to fourteen days to come
up, and cotton seed from five to ten
days. Hence, the weather may be
all that could be desired for several
days after planting the seed and then
turn cold or rain. 1t is more impor.
tant that the latter half of the period
of germanation should be favorable
than the first half. The correct rule
is to plant according to time-the day
of the month having regard other.
wise only to proper degree of drynes;
in the soil, which should be in good
condition for working. The time
should be determined by experience
of past years. The writer has severa
times planted corn when the ground
was frozen early in the morning, AND
secured a perfect stand of vigorous
plants. InDakota and other extreme
northern sections, wheat, corn ant
vegetables are planted in May, as soor
as the ground has thawed to a deptl
sufficient to permit of blowing anC

SPANS City of Toledo.

Six centuries before the birth of
Christ the Jews founded the city of
Toledo, in Spain. Cloths and Moors
successfully struggled for its posses
sion; and at last, after one of the most
terrible sieges in the history of the
middle ages, it tell into the hands of
the Spaniards. Attention is now
drawn to Toledo by the fact that the
Alcazar, or royal palace, which stood
as a ruin for centuries, and which was
recently restored at cost of $1,000
600, has been destroyed by fire. 1t is
an education to all intelligent men
and women to come face to face with
these magnificent types of architect
ure, both ancient and modern, with
which Europe abounds, and the de-
struction of any one of them may be
locked upon as an event to be regret.

Calling the Boy to Tea

She came to the door, and in the
blandest of tones called Sammy"
but there was no answer. She waited
bit and then she raised her voice a
little and "Sam-mee" floated out on
the air in that peculiar information, the
long-drawn rise on the first syllable
and the lingering decadence on the
last syllable that only a woman can
give, and which the average man
could no more attain than he could
button his boots with hairpin. She
leaned out by the corner of the house
and listened. She could hear the
boys down at the brook screamingand
chattering, but they took no notice OF
her calls. Shewas little riled. She
gathered herself up for a mighty eff
fort, and once more that "Sammee"
rose and fell through the deepening
twilight like the wall of a banchee.
Then she snapped out, "You'll see
what you'll get when you get here

She was mad, and she sang out

Rotation Of Crops.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist
A subscriber asks us for information
about rotation of crops. This is one
of the most important questions re-
lating to farm work, and deserves es-
pecial consideration. 1t has long
been considered as indispensable to
good and successful farming and there
is no reason to suppose under the
light of the later knowledge derived
from experiment and study, as we'll
as improved practice, that the old
farmers were mistaken. The old
practice was to follow grain with a
grass crop or with one which required
frequent cultivation of the soil. This
was SO firmly established that among
the English farmers whose crops on
the average have more than doubled
ours, every tenant was bound by his
lease to conform to it, and never fol-
low grain crop with another one
of the same kind. The reason for this
was and is that the growth of conscu-
tive crops of the same kind rapidly
eXhausts the soil, or encourages the
growth of weeds. 1t is found in the
natural growth of plants and forests
that a certain growth is generally
succeeded, after it has attained its
maturity-by different kind of vege-
tation for instance, when pine for
est has been cut of, or has been de-
stroyed by fire, hard woods succeed
it, or when oaks or other hard woods
have been cut off, pines grow in their
place. The old fields of the South are
standing example Of this, and the
"old field pine" covers the abandoned
land from which hard wood forest
was cut off to make room for tobacco
and cotton. The explanation of this
fact is, that hard woods are rich of
potash and taking large quantity of
this element from the soil, leaves the
land deficient in it, and unable to
produce another growth of hard
woods, but as pines is rich in silica
and poor of potash, and having an
abundance ofsilica, produces the pine
with ease, when it could not produce
oaks, hickories and other hard woods.
The same principle applies to farm
crops, and hence wheat is followed by
grass and clover, and these with corn
and corn with oats or barley; and
then the land is MANFRED, and wheat
is grown again. In practice, we
think this rotation is too short, and
would be greatly improved by a root
crop after corn, and oats and barley
after the roots, with clover following
and the second years clover plowed
in for wheat with which grass issown
with clover added in the spring. But
this, too, might be improved, perhaps
by sowing the grass and clover by
themselves in the spring, and moi
with the wheat, or early in the fall
rs soon as wheat is removed, thus
permitting the soil to be thoroughly
prepared for the grass seeding, by
which its success is greatly encour
aged.

Shampooing in the east is a luxury
which might be initiated here. There, n
lady seats herself before q mirror in a bar
ber's chair, a calico cloth and then a rub
Der one are pinned about her neck. and
deft hands take her hair down, divide
and tie it, and rub the head thoroughly
with beaten EGG, which is strengthening
TO the roots as well us cleansing. After
that she seats herself beside a marble
tank, where the hair is rinsed and again
washed with the finest CASTLE soap. Then
it is thoroughly rinsed with warm or cold
water by a sprinkler attached to a little
hose, and wrung out. Instead Of having
ones head rubbed Oft, il is now simply
wiped and the chair tilted back so that the
hair hangs over n sort of box with per-
f%orations through which hot air pufrs from
an alcohol scmething-perhaps a little
stove. This dries it all in a few minutes,
while one indolently cans back enjoying
the sensation. Then the hairdresser clips
the ends Of the hair, clips the bangs, curls
them, and ranges the hair in the latest
style. All for fifty cents.-Pioneer Press.
